Raul Ibanez has withdrawn his name from the Rays' search for a new manager.

Ibanez cited "family considerations" in doing so. The Rays now appear to be deciding between Kevin Cash and Don Wakamatsu for their managerial role, which was vacated by Joe Maddon's sudden opt-out. Ibanez has not officially retired from his playing career, but it's a safe bet that the 42-year-old will do that soon. Thu, Dec 4, 2014 12:54:00 PM

Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News reports that the Yankees are interested in talking to Raul Ibanez about their vacant hitting coach job.

Ibanez hasn't said he's definitely retiring, but he's 42 and coming off a terrible season. Even if he does officially hang it up, it's not clear whether he'd be interested in a coaching job, though it wouldn't be a surprise. Ibanez played for the Yankees in 2012. Fri, Oct 31, 2014 11:23:00 AM

Raul Ibanez is not on the Royals' roster for their ALDS matchup against the Angels.

Ibanez was active for Tuesday night's Wild Card Game victory over the A's, but he didn't make the cut for the best-of-five Division Series. The 42-year-old outfielder batted just .167/.264/.285 in 90 games this season between Anaheim and Kansas City. Thu, Oct 2, 2014 01:33:00 PM

Royals manager Ned Yost said Monday that Mike Moustakas will be "100 percent, ready to go" for the start of spring training next February.

He'll be 10 months removed from the ACL surgery that ended his 2016 campaign in May. Moustakas will be trying for a big comeback season in 2017 with free agency looming next winter. He earned his first All-Star nod in 2015, finishing with a cool .284/.348/.470 batting line with 22 home runs and 82 RBI in 147 games.
